The mallow, a symbol of the union of man and woman, is a central element in Semira's artwork. Mauves are traditionally found in the gardens of homes in Ukraine to protect the family from evil. Semira has taken this meaning and incorporated it into her artwork. The mallow stands for beauty, strength and fragility at the same time and is thus a symbol of life itself.
The paintings and photographs connect man and nature, immersing the viewer in a world of beauty and harmony.
